-Titulo Original : Argo How The Cia And Hollywood Pulled Off The Most Audacious Rescue In History
-Fabricante :
Penguin Books
-Descripcion Original:
The true account of a daring rescue that inspired the film ARGO, winner of the 2012 Academy Award for Best Picture On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the American embassy in Tehran and captured dozens of American hostages, sparking a 444-day ordeal and a quake in global politics still reverberating today. But there is a little-known drama connected to the crisis: six Americans escaped. And a top-level CIA officer named Antonio Mendez devised an ingenious yet incredibly risky plan to rescue them before they were detected. Disguising himself as a Hollywood producer, and supported by a cast of expert forgers, deep cover CIA operatives, foreign agents, and Hollywood special effects artists, Mendez traveled to Tehran under the guise of scouting locations for a fake science fiction film called Argo. While pretending to find the perfect film backdrops, Mendez and a colleague succeeded in contacting the escapees, and smuggling them out of Iran. Antonio Mendez finally details the extraordinarily complex and dangerous operation he led more than three decades ago. A riveting story of secret identities and international intrigue, Argo is the gripping account of the history-making collusion between Hollywood and high-stakes espionage. Review “It’s a fast-paced, straightforward, and gripping story full of drama and compelling characters….For history buffs and Affleck fans, ARGO the book, provides added insight into a wild, if not widely known, incident in the history of American foreign policy and the CIA.” - Boston Globe “Besides being a talented spy, Mendez is also a gifted storyteller…His latest book is a page turner…” - Associated Press “Fascinating story…This book is an exciting read.”- Deseret News “ ARGO is a mesmerizing book; a fast-paced, irresistible read thats equal parts politics, history and espionage.” - Shelf Awareness “This is an amazing and dramatic story of intrigue and deception set against the backdrop of international tension.” - Booklist “Fresh and engaging…A solid choice for fans of thrillers and international intrigue.” - Kirkus “[A] fast-paced account of a 1979 rescue operation during the Iran hostage crisis of 1979-1981… Details of this dangerous operation inject strong suspense and excitement into the closing chapters.” - Publishers Weekly “One of the most daring and courageous clandestine operations during my career involved efforts to rescue Americans taken hostage in Tehran after our embassy was seized on November 4, 1979. Six Americans managed to escape the U.S. compound and flee to the Canadian embassy, where they were hidden A very brave CIA officer, Tony Mendez, using commercial cover, entered Iran with false identities for the six and, using techniques that ought to remain secret so they can be used again, managed to get them out of Iran.” -Robert M. Gates, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and former U.S. Secretary of Defense, in his book From the Shadows “This is a fascinating story about how Tony Mendez and the CIA used a bit of technical expertise and a lot of daring and courage to rescue American hostages in Iran. Tony is emblematic of the extraordinary men and women of CIA. Most of their stories cannot be told -but fortunately, in ARGO, Tony has been able to lift the veil of secrecy -just a bit.” -George J. Tenet, former director of Central Intelligence Agency “James Bond’s Q comes to life. This gripping, true story of a white-knuckle operation by a little known part of the CIA reads like a thriller. Full of authentic detail and characters, of bravery and drama, it’s a must-read for all spy enthusiasts and CIA watchers.” -Dame Stella Rimington, former general director, MI5, British Intelligence “The CIA and Hollywood in cahoots, a painter turned spy, an impossible rescue mission with no guns and only one chance at success- ARGO has everything. This remarkable white-knuckle spy story is torn from the pages
